Yokota Air Base
is located in Fussa, Japan, which is a suburb of Tokyo. While there
I repaired the Communication and Navigation systems of the C-130E aircraft
that were there. My oldest daughter was born here and my son was
born on the island of Okinawa. We were stationed at Yokota for three
and a half years.

Since December
2000, we have been at McConnell AFB in Wichita, KS. While here, we
had our third child. I repaired the Communication and Navigation
systems on the KC-135R here, and now I teach the systems to new Airmen
arriving from technical school. In July 2004 I finally began College.
I enrolled online through Grantham University, based out of Slidell, LA.
I'm going for a degree in Information Science.

Maria
Collier June 16, 2006Hello Kewpie's!Maria here. When
I graduated from Hickman High School I attended the University of Missouri-Columbia
for 5 years and graduated with a BSN in Nursing. I have been living
in San Diego for almost 5 years now. My first 4.5 years I was active
duty in the United States Navy. I served as a Nurse Corps Officer
and worked in various units including oncology and intensive care.
My only deployment was a humanitarian mission to Bande Aceh, Indonesia
post-tsunami jan - mar 05. I trained 50 non-governmental organization
nurses ship life and how to run their respective wards. I was the
medevac nurse who flew with ill patients and their families to and from
the USNS Mercy and various hospitals on ground in Indonesia. I worked
with the Germans, Spanish, Austrailians, New Zealand and the Indonesian
armies. I have never worked harder in my life! These days I
work @ the Naval Hospital as a civilian in the adult critical care unit.
But I am looking for a day job as a nurse in something a little more mellow
atomosphere. My fiancee and I own a condo 1 mile away from the beach
here in san diego. We love the surf, fish tacos, mexican food, weather
and how there is always something to do here. Weather is great for
running races and all water sports. Ryan, my fiancee, and I are getting
married in a year and a family a year later. I do not know where
we will end up but we are happy with our lives here for the time being.

Cowgill February 6, 2006After graduation from
Hickman in 1996, I didn't travel far for college and attended Mizzou. I
was a non-traditional student, working full time my entire college career
thus it took me a little longer to graduate than usual. I funded a lot
of my college education through pageants and look back on the opportunities
I had has a title holder as extremely rewarding. During college, I was
hired as the morning show co-host on the #1 rated radio station in central
Missouri: KCLR, Clear 99. I've been there now nearly six years and love
it! Sure, I'm up early in the morning, but I'm done earlier in the day
and have a lot of time to spend with my family: husband, Aric, and children
Alexis and Carter.I've stayed in touch
with a lot of my fellow Kewpies, at least the ones I was very close to,
and still see them and their new families quite often. Looking forward
to our 10th reunion, though I can't believe it's already been ten years!
